Axaca, Oaxaca. Students of the College of Bachelors of the State of Oaxaca (Cobao) won gold medal in the international robotics tournament Exporecerca, held in Barcelona, ​​Spain, where they represented Mexico with the prototype "The Wanderer", a self-sustaining scooter that does not require fuel function.

Students in sixth semester Victor Matias Garcia and Raul Grajales Guzman participated in the International Science Fair with its compact scooter

(RWalker) capable of transporting a person "almost permanently, as it has a self-sustaining engine that converts mechanical energy into electricity to feed themselves," the director of the institution, Germán Espinoza Santibanez.

Satisfied with the success of the students, the director said that this prototype won the gold medal in the innovative project, which gave the jury of the competition area, and a further ballot held among the other participants in the international fair robotics.

Oaxacans who represented Mexico in Europe involving more than 200 students from 15 countries and 116 science and technology projects.

"We design a mobility system that does not pollute, it does not require fuel, ie, self-sustaining, and that would meet an important need mainly in rural areas of Oaxaca, and the rest of the country: transport," said the student Victor Matthias.

Victor and Raul worked for a year as a project of the scooter. From the design, prototype construction and testing to refine the details of its operation.

For the project used the structure cut from a bicycle, he adapted resistant tire to road, put an engine two thousand 700 rpm, a capacitor and generator, which in turn makes generator, buffer and alternator power, and battery is only used for spark ignition.

"This vehicle, moving, generates and stores its own energy.

The RWalker hold up to 110 kilograms, "noted the young.

The prototype cost about three thousand dollars, "but if done in series that price would drop considerably," said Victor, who was always accompanied by his teacher Arenaza Alejandro Villavicencio.

Students have the research protocol; plans and photographs of the design and construction as well as a complete evaluation of the project, presented the last week of March during the Magna Science Fair, where teams of Turkey, Brazil, Italy, Argentina, Belgium, China and Slovakia participated, among others.

A set of 2 1,5F caps can store an energy of 36Ws.

Watts is an indication of rate of energy production or consumption, i.e. power, not a measure of energy.
Two 1.5F caps in parallel at 12 Volts can store a total of 216 Joules of energy.
You could draw 1 Watt of power off those caps for 3.6 minutes, at which point the caps
would be completely drained, if they were not being recharged at the same time.
There is only a relatively small amount of power available from the super caps when they are fully charged up.
The power requirement to run the bike's electric motor will likely be quite a lot higher than 1 watt.  That
would be a pretty substantial drain on the battery shown mounted on the bike, so there would have to
be a fairly high charge current going to the battery when the bike is running to keep the
battery charged up. We know it has a generator, but still a bike self powering its own generator
would of course not normally be self sustaining. We are still missing some very key technical information on
how the bike is supposed to be able to charge itself. Unless they are taking some portable solar panels and
recharging the battery when the bike is parked, it is still a mystery how the bike is supposed to be self sustaining.
